Neighbor aware network cluster change for neighbor aware network data link

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for synchronizing clocks in a Neighbor Aware Network (NAN) Data Link (NDL) cluster. An exemplary apparatus includes a processing system configured to communicate with one or more members of a group, that includes the apparatus, according to a first data communication window (DCW) timeline having a first offset relative to a first clock associated with a first network cluster, to detect a beacon transmitted by a device of a second network cluster, wherein the beacon comprises timing information of a second clock associated with the second network cluster, to determine whether to initiate a move of the group to the second network cluster, to generate a frame to initiate the move of the group to the second network cluster, the frame comprising a first indication of the timing information of the second clock, and an interface configured to output the frame for transmission.
